How much for hq insurance this time around?

I want to have a similar statistic with having your one item being the only NQ 2-star equipment I've made. Everything else has been HQ.

Are you ready for tanks to be fully vit specced and to never have to worry about healing again?

He'll be able to cast a few more Broils, and you'll be commenting how the add you were DPS'ing (not by yourself) got wrecked.

The OF's official translation is slowly catching up, for you weird bow people they said Warden's Paeon change is coming too. So maybe BRD buffs afterall.
they'll somehow make it even more useless

Also wtf does this mean:

Disciples of the Hand and Land Adjustments

In Patch 3.2 we will be adding an extremely large volume of new crafting recipes. One of the major types of recipes will be the release of new crafted equipment and accessories at the same time, which can be used to challenge raids early. They are at an item level that can be used for the raid, so I believe there will be a large demand for each job’s equipment.

We’ve also made it so that you won’t run into problems where you are not able to collect the necessary materials like has been the case in the past.

I'm not going to lie I wasn't really listening to the crafted part very hard, what did I miss there, what does the bolded part mean? Much easier to get materials so cheaper?

My prayer is the incoming damage will be going way up, make it so things actually hit hard compared to the HP pool. Basically make it like way back at launch where you could get wrecked for more majority of your HP even with cooldowns.

O...kay...

The translation stream I'm watching mentioned how you can gather when duty window pops, where before you were locked out of gathering when it popped up, I think. On timed nodes that could mean you would lose the entire gather attempt. I haven't gathered in a while but I think this is the case? Shrug?

Midas gear is pretty passable overall.
Second High Allagan miracle didn't happen.

Wanna hear a good joke? Waste your time helping me! LOL!

Is that really Midas gear? How can they tease with good aiming gear when the rest turns out to be not so hot... cept that gear on that right, that's cool too.

Maybe it'll grow on me.

Yeah, you can't gather right now when DF pops. But that change was a different part, and is in the OF in a different post. This appears to be about the new crafting stuff only.

(side note but if it was mrhappy, I'd take anything he says with grain of salt, in past LL I've seen him say things exact opposite what they are saying)

They're abolishing Law, will that hinder relic a bit? Though I think you can get the same stuff with Poetics so probably not.

MCH changes, awesome. I'm almost 60 on that. Glad they're uncapping Eso since I'll need all I can get for this job.

They will just change it so you will able to buy the law items with Esoterics, probably 1/3rd less for each item.
